Post-Interview Analysis

Key Lessons Learned: Women typically control many of the household buying decisions. But there is a disconnect because they don’t always make the same investments. Carve out a niche. Manage your expectations when it comes to property managers.

How did they acquire their knowledge or what knowledge did they need to acquire? Gain knowledge of the local laws. Don’t do things illegally.

How much money did it take to get started? They put about $32,000 down that they borrowed from a heloc.

How much time does it take now? The real estate side is a full-time job for her.

Could they do this strategy from anywhere in the world? Not really, because it is a hands-on full-time job.
